NEW COMPILATION NIGHT LIGHTS COMING RECORD STORE DAY 2025

Put this in your mug and sip it. We’re excited to announce Night Lights, a new compilation collecting cuts from Prestige Records’ imprint Moodsville, featuring hauntingly beautiful late-night tunes from multi-instrumentalist Yusef Lateef, guitarist Kenny Burrell, saxophonists Coleman Hawkins and Gene Ammons, and many more. The smoke-hued blue vinyl befits the album’s enchanting sonic landscape, complimented by original artwork from acclaimed illustrator Liam Cobb.

Evoking the feeling of a warm cup of diner coffee on a cold, sleepless winter night in the city, Night Lights takes listeners on a long stroll that kicks off with Willis Jackson’s nostalgic contemplation “Home,” complimented by the warm hug of bookend “What’s New” from Eddie “Lockjaw” Davis (which features the oft-forgotten, prolific organist and bandleader Shirley Scott). At its center, the new collection also features the silky motifs of Yusef Lateef’s “Don’t Blame Me,” the understated confidence of Kenny Burrell’s six-string meditation “No More,” Coleman Hawkins’ “When the Day Is Done” (which soothes like a much-needed salve), and Gene Ammons’ tableau of contentment, “Under a Blanket of Blue” — among many other timeless Moodsville cuts.

Night Lights will be available at independent record stores worldwide on April 12th for Record Store Day 2025. Locate your nearest participating retailer now on RecordStoreDay.com
